The Straits Area Community Foundation (SACF) is accepting applications for its 2024 competitive scholarship program. Current and former graduates of high schools in Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City are invited to apply.
Many of the scholarship opportunities available through SACF depend upon the high school from which a student is graduating, the college they plan to attend, or their planned field of study. Additionally, some scholarships are for students who have already graduated from high school, and for those planning to attend a certificate program or trade school. To be eligible, students must complete the application by the March 1, 2024, deadline.
Most scholarships must be applied for directly through the Community Foundation’s online platform. Students applying for awards will complete one online application; and will be considered for any scholarship for which they are eligible.
Students from the SACF service area should visit https://www.cfnem.org/sacf/scholarships/apply-for-scholarships.html and look for a green piggy bank image to apply for scholarships from the Straits Area Community Foundation.
Scholarships awarded during the 2024 competitive scholarship program are for the 2024-25 academic year and are paid directly to the educational institution the student will be attending.
